“He took pity on them … they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he set himself to teach them at some length”

Today’s Gospel Reflection

Jesus responds very differently to the two groups of people in today’s Gospel. The first group – the apostles – have just returned from the mission and are very tired, so he says to them ‘come away to a deserted place and rest for a while’. They still had much to learn but Jesus knows that their primary need at that time was to rest. The second group – the crowds – are lost and dejected. They are seeking something from Jesus so he sets about to teach them at length. A priest today can face a similar situation as he looks out at his congregation on a Sunday morning. Present are people who may be tired and simply need to rest in the Lord. They didn’t need many words. Then there are others who are lost and dejected, who are hungry for God’s word, who desire some input, some teaching. In some way the needs of both groups have to be honoured.

CAFOD: Contemplation in the Year of Prayer. True silence is worth more than thousands of words, for it is in silence that we can listen and love. But to get to the right type of silence, first we need to listen to the right sounds. And so we start with a little theory, or some premises: https://blog.cafod.org.uk/2024/07/04/contemplation-in-the-year-of-prayer/

Annual Pilgrimage to the Diocesan Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes at Cleator

on Sunday 8th September 2024.

The principal celebrant and preacher will be Bishop Paul Swarbrick.

The theme this year is 'Our Lady, Guide of the Wanderer'. So many in our world are on the move seeking safety, peace, economic security. So many in our world are wandering and rootless in their moral and religious lives. We seek the intercession of Our Lady who gave us Jesus the Way, the Truth, the Life.

The statues of the Cure of Ars and St Therese of Lisieux will be placed in the grounds of the shrine.

The pilgrimage will be an opportunity to honour and to ask their intercession for healing and consolation.

If needed, pilgrims may bring their own packed lunch. Tea and coffee are provided.

All their stores and pharmacies are participating. Please bring your empty blister packs and leave them in the box at the back of church and Pat Loughran will take them to Superdrug. It can be one way of our parish working towards making the world a better place for our children and grandchildren.

Thank you for your continued support in bringing empty pill blister packs to Church. It is our small effort in saving the planet. Also Boots stores will recycle empty beauty, healthcare and wellness containers that cannot be put in council recycling bins.
